Speaker 2:I'm very excited there's um gosh.
Speaker 1:You and I taught a class not too long ago and it it literally feels like it was last year and it feels like I'm going to be starting to write 2025 on everything now.
Speaker 2:I know it's crazy, Cause I was thinking about that. I was like I haven't seen Ryan since we taught our class and it seems like that was a long time ago, even though it wasn't, but the year is just flying by.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it is and, and, and gosh. Another month I'm going to see you again and this is going to be the coolest mean you've been to hero before, you know what hero is all about, but you're going to be on stage rocking it, showing everybody your magic and, uh, what? What are your thoughts behind all this?
Speaker 2:well, I'm so honored to be a part of it and I'm so excited to you know, once again share the stage with masters balayage and with you and um, I'm just really excited. I think that hero is like such an inspiring, like positive event in our industry and I it'll be my first time on stage there, so I'm pumped nice, nice, I'm so pumped too.
Speaker 1:I mean the lineup this year best we've ever had.
Speaker 1:It's I mean not to discount any of the previous years, but we have even more, more, uh, superstars on the stage and more content.
Speaker 1:I just when we first did hero five years ago and I can't believe this is our fifth annual it was a. It was a little over a day and it was like a day and a half. You know, we had a maybe three or four hours on the first day, which is a saturday, and then a full day, sunday, and now it's a two full days and we've got this massive after party that's going to be on the roof at this intercontinental hotel and I'm just so excited for it to see everybody. It's in my hometown, so Jenny's going to be able to see it, and Jenny has been a big part of the heroes in the backstage and setting it up, in the, in the branding and everything. Jenny, for those of you that don't know, it's my wife and she's the, the master of branding in masters of balayage, uh, and she's she's never actually been able to go to a hero and this is just super exciting.
Speaker 2:I remember when I was there last time I'm like, is jenny gonna be there? And like, no, she's home with the kids. And I'm like, so that be exciting, I'm so happy she's coming.
Speaker 1:Same same. I remember one year that I was on stage and we played jokes, sometimes like, oh, jenny's coming out right now. And one time I'm like, you know, everybody put your hands together because Jenny's here and we're gonna do this, and we're all clapping, clapping and I'm like she's not here. I'm looking of playing a joke. I'm like, oh, I guess she's not here. She couldn't make it. She sent us a video. It's just here. It was fun because it's it's. It's serious for the achieving stylist, uh, but it's also just a lot of fun. You know, we get to have fun, party like hairstylist, but also have that camaraderie and meet your new best friends absolutely, and the and the hotel looks incredible.
Speaker 2:I was looking at the website the other day and I was like, wow, this is beautiful.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, it's, it's, it's, it's awesome, um, but let's, let's go back to you, cause I mean, I know you're going to be rocking on the stage here and I'm excited to see you and catch up, but, um, the the cliche question that you have to ask. It's like like, okay, how did you get started in hair? And I hate to ask that question, but it is funny because you get so many different answers. Some people are talking about how, ever since they stepped, crawled out of the womb, uh, they, they started messing with hair, with their dolls, with their mom's hair, and then other people like me, for instance, it was just kind of like an afterthought. Somebody said, hey, hey, you tried everything else. Have you even tried hair yet you give it a shot? I'm like, ah, screw it, why not?
Speaker 2:Yeah, how did you get started.
Speaker 2:So I actually took cosmetology when I was in high school and I wasn't honestly sure that I wanted to do it as a career. I was just kind of like, oh cool, like honestly sure that I wanted to do it as a career. I was just kind of like, oh cool, like I can do hair for the last like three hours of school time, you know. So when I graduated high school I had my cosmetology license and when I graduated I actually was not going to go into hair. So I was enrolled in college for fashion design and and about a week before I was supposed to leave for college, I told my parents that I wasn't going because I had gotten a job at, like the salon that I was a client at and my hairdresser, who actually now works with me, was like a huge inspiration to me. So I like wanted to give it a shot, and my parents were kind of well, I think my mom was relieved. I think my dad was like, oh my God, she's not going to go to college, she's going to be a hairdresser, and back then it wasn't how it is now. So I ended up getting a job at my salon that I was a client at. It was like my dream salon at the time. I went through about a year of training, I worked there for a couple of years and then, you know, moved on to another salon and eventually opened my own space, which eventually turned into my own salon. So it was a journey, for sure, I think. I always like to stress that it doesn't happen overnight, and it was a very long road of almost 18 years, to get you know where I'm at today.
Speaker 1:So so now you have your own salon.
Speaker 2:Yes.
Speaker 1:Right, and what's the name of your salon?
Speaker 2:So I'm so original the name of my salon is the Chrissy Danielle Salon.
Speaker 1:Okay, the Chrissy Danielle. It's a pretty name so it fits Honestly.
Speaker 2:I thought for the longest time. I tried to think of like something creative and I was just like you know what, like my Instagram was already branded, I was like I'm just gonna go with that because everybody knows me as that and you know it stuck so.
Speaker 1:Right, right. It also makes you show up at a, at a higher level, because you're like crap. My name is on the the sign in the front, so I better, I better be good, or else people are going to, like you know, throw my name around like garbage.
Speaker 2:Right, it's like you feel like okay, like everything walking out that door, like my name is on that door. So you know no, no messing around and how many years have you had it?
Speaker 2:So I've actually had my salon for three and a half years now. I opened two weeks before they shut us down here in Ohio for COVID, so that was interesting, but you know, thankfully everything worked out and you know I have a smaller boutique salon. So my vision when I opened my salon was to create a space where it was a rental space and I wasn't going to be like somebody's boss per se. I wanted all of us to have, you know, like a team environment, but be able to have that freedom that we all want as stylists of making your own hours, setting your own prices, while still working in a good, like uplifting environment.
Speaker 1:And I'm sure that's what you've created too, because that's exactly the person that you are, both when I say on the screen with like Instagram, and on the stage, and also in real life. You know you're the same person and so many times I see two different types of people. You got your stage presence and then you've got the way you are in the dark, and it's not always great. I've met some people that are just great on stage, but they might not be a very nice person everywhere else.
Speaker 1:So it's nice that you're consistent, you're authentic. I can vouch for that. If anybody ever asks, and, um, it, just it's. I think that's also one of the reasons why you've had this meteoric rise over the last several years. Um, and I would love to know kind of what you think your secrets are for success, because I know you probably get asked it a lot, uh and it, and it's not like you're just manifesting it, you're sitting in at home and you're just praying that it's good, you're going to get more followers and things like. I know that you take proactive, um, uh, responsibility for it. So if somebody were to come up to you and you're like, how did you get as many followers as you do? How, how did you get all the beyond, all these stages, what, what would you say your secret is for this overnight success, which I know it's not overnight- but it, it, it looks like it in the scheme of things.
Speaker 2:One day you're here and the next day you're like you know, boom Well for that compliment because, first and foremost, I have always said that I've strived to be the same person that I am on Instagram in person, because I think that's really important and I think being approachable is like just number one.
Speaker 2:So, like I guess like there's a few different things and I would say like the secrets to my success, like I kind of feel like they're in my like everyday routine, like I don't necessarily think it's like an exact thing I do at the salon or you know, on Instagram, but I will say that I get up early every day, I do my workout. I feel like that gets me like motivated for the day and I feel like you need that motivation to drive you through the day and get you through whatever it is that you're doing. Consistency and that goes for, I think, all areas of your career and your life, but especially with Instagram just consistency. I tell people all the time. It took me years to build my following, but I also feel that it's doing like telling yourself you know, whatever day it is that you want to start saying like I'm going to commit to, even if it's two posts a week, like, but sticking to it, because I've learned that like inconsistency gets you nowhere. You have to be consistent in your business and your.
Speaker 2:Instagram, with your clients, all of that. And then I think, just always working on yourself and stepping out of your comfort zones, I find that I have the most growth personally and professionally, specifically professionally, when I find that I'm getting too comfortable or feeling uninspired. It's time to like step out of that, and that's when I noticed like the biggest change for me personally. So I think another thing, too, is like just never be afraid of putting yourself out there, because what ultimately like exploded my Instagram was a post that I originally thought was really silly and I almost didn't post it. So just kind of like, never doubt yourself, you know.
Speaker 1:I love that. I got a lot of takeaways from that. Actually, I had to write them down.
Speaker 2:Oh.
Speaker 1:So this is what you said. No, these are all great points, because so many of these are. You just nailed it as far as I would say like this is what it would would take for anybody to really see a big difference in their life, in their, in their growth journey. So you have to be approachable, which, when you say approachable probably smiling, being just a generally nice person, almost like you're a friend, even if you've never actually met somebody before right, that people feel comfortable coming up to you and be like hey, chrissy, I just want to to talk to you and feel okay doing that, so that you're not going to be like talk down to anybody yeah nobody wants to talk to a mentor or somebody they've looked up to for years and feel like degraded after that experience I think that, like for me, um, which this will probably make you laugh I feel like everyone laughs.
Speaker 2:I call them this. But um, like when I'm at hair shows and stuff and people approach me because I don't think I will ever get used to that. Like people like actually know what I'm about. I will never, never get used to it, but usually the first thing out of my mouth is like you want to talk to me, or like you want a picture, like I'm not that cool but okay, and I think like it's just being that like real person, because like the way I see it is like I don't think I'm better than anyone.
Speaker 2:I think it's just that I love what I do, I share what I do and it worked out for me, you know right. But anyone's capable of that, and I think being approachable is like one of the biggest keys to success.
Speaker 1:Absolutely, absolutely. That reminds me I was was at a hair show, one of our first, actually our first time. We were at a booth in Premier Orlando for Masters of Ballet. I was at a booth there and a lot of people knew me, just like they know you and I was. People were coming up to me, we had this backdrop, and getting picture, you know, after picture after picture.
Speaker 1:I think I had just taught a class on the main stage and then, uh, shortly thereafter, after most people had disappeared and we still had stuff going on, of course, but the initial like let's go take a picture with ryan, it kind of ended um, this, this, um, this nice girl walked up to me with her friend and said, you know, hey, can you take a picture? And I'm like I'm like sure, yeah, where do you want to take it? And she's like, oh, over here. And she handed me the camera and two of her friend, her and her friend went and asked me to take a picture of them Talking about a humbling moment. I was like, oh, my gosh, okay, I just, you know, of course, laughed and I'm like, okay, and I went all in on the photos. Okay, you love, show me love.
Speaker 1:I had a great time doing it, but I was, you know, it was just in the mode where it was. It was fine that this, those five minutes of fame, had ended and I'm like, okay, I'm back to being a real person now. But yeah, that was, that was fun. Um, another thing you touched on, which I think is just so on point, is your routine. You have, uh, daily habits that are consistent, and that consistency is actually where you can really find out if something that is working or it's not working, because you're not going to know if it's working if you're not doing something consistently.
Speaker 2:Exactly, I think, like and like I said, I mean, it goes for everything. It goes for your business, it goes for Instagram, it goes for things like working out, like. I just feel like I've established like a daily routine of just being as consistent as I can be and I noticed like when I fall out of those things, it's like I'm beating myself up for it. You know, like and granted, like everyone is entitled to like a day off here and there for having like a day to themselves, but I just really think that it changes your mindset.
Speaker 1:Right, right. Yeah, I feel like a different person if I don't have my daily glass of wine at the end of the day.
Speaker 2:I mean, I don't feel like my day was complete without my grapefruit white claw.
Speaker 1:Exactly, exactly. So you know what I'm saying. I totally get that. But same thing. It's like that morning routine where you talked about a strong morning routine, where you get up, you work out, you feel better about it. It's, it's. I feel the same exact way when I don't work out or exercise or do something active in the morning. I feel more sluggish throughout the day and I maybe eat a little worse, I snack a little more, um, maybe drink a little more wine that night than normal. So it's just, it's about the consistency of our habits and our routines that really shapes who we are. And then bold action, where you're stepping outside of your comfort zone and doing that consistently. And, uh, the last part you said was you know, you just got to post, you just got to post got to go for it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and at first nobody's going to care what you're posting anyways, because you're probably not going to have that many followers or people seeing you and the algorithms all screwed up now, so I'm going to see it anyway, unless it's good, right.
Speaker 2:Fun fact like I was posting away when I started Instagram well under 10,000 followers at the time and you guys were the first people to ever recognize my work. I still remember like the photo the client like, and I remember like it being such, like it sounds so silly, but like such a monumental moment because I had been like posting and posting and posting and no big pages had reshared my work. And I remember like sitting on my couch one night and I like see my post come up a master's of balayage. I'm like jumping and screaming, like I was like so excited because it's like the little wins too.
Speaker 2:you know like right you're starting out like you might not be getting awards, you might not be doing these things, but it's like you don't want to compare yourself to other people because you, we all started somewhere, like I was jumping up and down screaming when I got posted on masters of balayage, so you know then it's funny, cause that's what, um, I love that and that's why masters of balayage was actually started.
Speaker 1:I mean one I wanted to have a company named masters of balayage, but we I started it because I wanted to create my own Pinterest board of inspiration and I liked Instagram better than Pinterest and I was just putting, we were putting work up there and I I'm sure it was probably I don't know who posted it, whether it was me or jenny.
Speaker 1:Jenny probably took it over at that time.
Speaker 1:Um, but your work, it was phenomenal and I love kudos to jenny for always looking for people that weren't already the top in the industry, they weren't already the celebrity stylist the industry, they weren't already the celebrity stylist. Trying to give we were trying to give maybe people that had less than 10,000 followers a boost or a shout out or some recognition, and I think it's so easy to overlook or not take the time to try to dig deeper into the industry to find those superstars that maybe don't have a huge following, because there are so many amazing stylists and people that just don't get that recognition and they deserve it. So I'm glad that. I'm glad that I mean it's just, I feel honored that you take this moment and share it over and over again, because the way you felt is the way I know you and I like other people and students to feel when we're teaching a class, like we want that to be maybe a core memory or a light bulb moment, depending on what we're doing, and that's what makes what we do worth it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I think, like you know, like you said, I feel like I like to make people feel how I felt in that moment or in other moments and I think, like, as an influencer in this industry, like even like things like taking the time to respond to, like your DMS, if somebody sends you a message or ask you a question, it's like, whether they have a lot of followers or a small following, I always try to, you know, be as responsive as I can with everyone, because I think, like sometimes you don't realize it's something that small that can like change the course of someone's day or just how they feel about their career too, you know.
Speaker 1:Right, right has. Has blonding always been a huge passion of yours, because blonding balayage that's that's kind of like your thing, your specialty, right, that your ideal client would be somebody that wants to be blonde or dimensional blonde or anything blonde right?
Speaker 2:Yeah. So I have always loved doing blondes, like from, really from when I started doing hair and, um, I kind of was at one point in a salon where I didn't really get a say in what I was, what I was doing, you know. So it was like I just got whoever walked in, whoever called. It was kind of just luck of the draw. But once I went on my own, I took a class at 901 Academy which kind of changed my outlook on the whole thing and how to how I built my clientele.
Speaker 2:So the girl that was teaching it was like a very small social media segment and she was like, why are you posting the things you don't want to do? And I was just like, wow, that makes so much sense. Why didn't I think of that? So, like you know, I went from posting like everything, like reds, color corrections, brunettes, that like and. And then, like I just came back from that class and I was like you know, it's okay that I have other clients that are getting different colors right now, but I'm only going to post blondes. And the second that I started just posting blondes and balayage that was all I was getting back in my chair and it was like a light bulb moment Cause I was like I don't know why I didn't think of this sooner, but that's truly how I built my clientele. I never did any kind of advertising. I just posted on Instagram and I posted pretty much blonde, just all blonde hair.
Speaker 1:Right, right. Yeah, I mean funny. We just had Jill on recently from 901. Oh yeah, and she's going to be there at Hero as well. I didn't know if you knew that or not.
Speaker 2:I don't know if Jill and I officially met, but I really admire all of those girls' work and they were like a huge inspiration to me, so it's pretty cool.
Speaker 1:They're amazing, love them, and that was actually one of the first times I did a video like an online video was for their online course.
Speaker 2:I think I remember that actually.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it was a long time ago. I was, um, they're online. I think I remember that actually, yeah, it's a long time ago I was. So I was so nervous and I was using swartz cough, blonde me and and I and I used it a lot at that time but I didn't realize how long it would be on the hair and I was using, uh, I really wanted to be blonde and make a name for myself because I was like, oh, this is my moment. Um, and the, and the heat from the lamps and the lights and 30 volume. Yeah, I used 30 volume with blonde me and I was just, it was dripping. I'm like we've got to take this off. Let's just take cut, cut, cut, cut. Can I take a five? Yeah, it came out great. Her hair came out great, but it would have fallen out if we didn't get it out in time. So that was that Going back.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you mentioned, too, when you're on Instagram to decide if you have a specialty that you want more of your clients to be like post what you want to see. That is so important and I can relate to that myself. Remember, I don't know, five, four years ago, when Vivids were just blowing up. It was like 2019, probably like 2018, 2019. Vivids everybody was doing. Vivids were just blown up. It was like 2019, probably like 2018, 2019. Vivids, everybody was doing.
Speaker 2:Vivids and it was.
Speaker 1:I mean, it's so cool and there's still lots of people that do it, Um, but but everybody was trying Vivids, even people that didn't do a lot of Vivids or bleach outs, and I was. I dabbled with Vivids one one day with one of my clients and I'm like, oh, this is so cool, and I posted it and it was on my feed with all my blondes and all my balayages. The next day I started getting calls for vivids.
Speaker 2:I was like, oh shit you're like no, no, no, no no, I'm not that good.
Speaker 1:No, I just had a fun creative moment and I don't want to do this because it's very uncomfortable to me. I want to go back in my lane. But yeah, it's like you put it out there, you're going to attract it, so, so be careful what you wish for in a way so true, yeah. So now you're doing independent education, for sure, um.
Speaker 2:I have actually talked to some artists that we've talked about collaborating, so I think that that would be really cool, I mean maybe I haven't gotten the.
Speaker 1:I haven't gotten the call yet.
Speaker 2:I was at the I'm sure, I'm sure it's.
Speaker 1:Maybe I haven't checked my voicemail in a while. I'm going to throw it out there.
Speaker 2:I will do another class together. No, actually, we'll do another class together. No, actually, that was like one of my favorite classes that I taught, so that was a lot of fun yeah.
Speaker 2:But yeah, I think I, you know I really wanted to put like a bigger focus on my independent education and kind of just building my brand. And you know, I don't know like I also like I have so many ideas in my head that I feel like I've had in my head for my brand for like the past you know two years and it's like you just like push them to the side and you're like, oh, I'll do that another time, I'll do that. So, but definitely um independent education and definitely some fun collaborations.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Yes, ryan, I'm asking.
Speaker 1:Well, well, I'll think about it. Okay, yeah, of course I'm, of course I I'm in. We can talk about something. That'd be fun, absolutely. But, uh, yeah, it would be. Um, I mean, you could go crazy with the name for your education. Just call it chrissy danielle education, I know like I might I might get wild and do that.
Speaker 2:you know's so original, so I am like the queen of original names, Like I always said, like to this day I think, to myself, like never, really never in a million years, did I think I would have the success I had on Instagram? So when I started my Instagram I was just like, oh, hair by Christy Danielle. And then it wasn't until I hit like the 25,000 follower mark that I was like I think I don't want to change my name now because, like so many people know it. But then, like I always think to myself, like man, I should have thought of a cooler name, you know.
Speaker 1:But, but why? Because what's funny, too, is a lot of people wish they had their name on it after they've gotten to a certain level as opposed to being known as a pseudonym or something.
Speaker 2:Yeah it I know after they've gotten to a certain level, you know, as opposed to being known as a pseudonym or something, yeah, yeah, oh yeah, no, I I actually. I mean, obviously it's grown on taylor's taylor swift was taken yeah, that was that was the problem like I. I really wanted that, but you know you can't have everything.
Speaker 1:So chrissy, chrissy, taylor, smith, taylor swift. What am I saying?
Speaker 2:smith swift, oh my gosh, my gosh, I mean there's no, it's no secret, it's the wine. It's the wine, it's just it catches up to you All. 50 memes, you know.
Speaker 1:Totally, totally, oh man, um, uh, yeah, that's. I'm excited to see what you have in store and um you, you, you have. You've dabbled in the online market too, right? You've got some online courses.
Speaker 2:I have. I definitely um have dabbled in it. Um, I need to get back at it. Um, I think that it's a matter of like finding time. I think like this this year for me, I had a lot of travel, Um, the beginning of half the year, I had a few independent classes, Um, and yeah, it's just like I need more hours in the day, you know I think the government was actually thinking about extending the the hours in a day, so we're going to try to get a further earth's rotation around the sun, so the days will lengthen perfect so scientists are working on it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so that we can actually work more during the day and sleep less, but, yeah, I definitely want to like expand on that more as well. And, you know, just continue to provide like the quick education that I've always kind of had on my Instagram for people to have access at their fingertips. And, you know, just create great content and keep doing what I'm doing and I hope that I can keep riding that wave and yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:Cause it's you know, teaching has become like such a passion of mine, so anytime I get the opportunity to be on stage or teach a class, it's truly like the best moments.
Speaker 1:Well, just keep doing what you're doing, because I love your posts. It's always. It always pisses me off because you have so many a day and you're just like how does she have the time?
Speaker 1:Because she talks about not having the time and all of your posts. I just look at them and I'm just like that's a brilliant post. Or even the simple ones are like that's just great. It's always has a value message attached to it. It's not. Sometimes it's just pretty hair, which is fantastic. Yeah, a lot of times it goes many steps beyond that or shows like this is a baby light versus a tz light versus this and or and in your, your photography and the way you show the poses and what was the hip? The thing I saw today was the hip, you know hip dip or the hip, what's it called what's it called?
Speaker 1:no, the hip dip something.
Speaker 2:The hip hinge yeah you call the hip dip.
Speaker 1:Whatever works, you know hip dip is like the thing in the side of the hips, right yeah yeah, yeah, no, I mean, I think it's like never overthink your content, you know yeah but keep it simple, and when I start overthinking it I can't come up with stuff.
Speaker 1:So right, and then you just get better and better at knowing what works and what doesn't. Right Cause it's one thing for you to say, miss expert poster, just post, just post. But every one of your posts is, like you know, a hundred percent perfect. I will say like.
Speaker 2:a hot tip for anyone struggling with posting consistently on Instagram is like go into your insights and look at your best performing posts or content and if you haven't posted in a while, repost it, because nobody's going to remember followers that will see it. But also it gives you a little bit of a guide to know what performs well on your page. So that's.
Speaker 1:That's a good idea.
Speaker 2:I do that a lot just to see, like, what is my audience liking, like what do I need to put more of out there?
Speaker 1:That makes sense. That makes sense. Yeah, and actually do some active work to find out what's working, what's not, instead of just complaining about not having the time to post. And then it becomes next week and next month and next year and you're still saying the same things and not actually doing anything about it. Yep, yeah Well, I like to keep people always wanting more. So, this conversation, I had a lot of fun today.
